This location is significant as it symbolizes the presence of God among His people. The gate was a place of gathering, judgment, and proclamation, making it an ideal location for delivering a divine message. The act of standing in the gate signifies authority and the importance of the message being delivered. In biblical times, gates were also places where prophets often delivered messages from God (e.g., <a href="/jeremiah/26-2.htm">Jeremiah 26:2</a>).and proclaim this message: The act of proclaiming indicates a public declaration meant to be heard by all. Prophets were often called to deliver messages that were not their own but were directly from God. This proclamation is a call to repentance and a warning of impending judgment if the people do not turn from their ways. The role of the prophet was to be a mouthpiece for God, delivering His words with authority and urgency.Hear the word of the LORD, This phrase emphasizes the importance of listening to God's message. In Hebrew culture, "hearing" often implied obedience, not just auditory reception. The call to hear is a call to action, urging the people to respond to God's word. The phrase underscores the authority of the message as coming directly from the LORD, the covenant God of Israel, who demands their attention and obedience.all you people of Judah The message is directed specifically to the people of Judah, the southern kingdom of Israel. At this time, Judah was facing political and spiritual decline, and the people were often turning to idolatry and false worship. The specificity of the audience highlights the particular sins and issues prevalent in Judah, which were leading them away from their covenant relationship with God.who enter through these gates to worship the LORD. This phrase identifies the audience as those who come to the Temple to worship, indicating that the message is for those who outwardly practice religious rituals. However, the context of Jeremiah's message often reveals that their worship was superficial, lacking true devotion and obedience to God. The call to those entering the gates serves as a reminder that true worship requires more than ritual; it demands a heart aligned with God's will. This echoes the prophetic theme that God desires mercy and obedience over sacrifice (<a href="/1_samuel/15-22.htm">1 Samuel 15:22</a>, <a href="/hosea/6-6.htm">Hosea 6:6</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A prophet called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah.

Probably it was the gate where Baruch recited the prophecies of Jeremiah at a later period, and which is designated "the new gate of the Lord's house," and said to have been situated in the "upper" i.e. inner court (<a href="/jeremiah/36-10.htm">Jeremiah 36:10</a>; comp. <a href="/jeremiah/26-10.htm">Jeremiah 26:10</a>).
